connecticut trip, part 1

thanks to tim's work, we were able to snag a rental car for a day so we decided that we had to go somewhere. somewhere that wasn't too far b/c of the kid (he hates being strapped in the car seat) and somewhere where we haven't been before or i should say, somewhere that i haven't been before. so we decide to head out to CT to see yale and eat at mystic pizza.



on our way to mystic, there was soooo much traffic for some reason. the drive should have taken 1 hr/45 min just to get to new haven, but it took us 2 1/2 hours. that part was pretty bad but thankfully the kid slept majority of the time so we didn't have to deal w/ traffic and a crying baby.

our original plan was to get to mystic, have lunch there, then, head to new haven and check out the yale campus but it didn't turn out that way.

when we got to the new haven area, our friend, jen called us. she was also in new haven w/ her mom visiting her smart ass sister, nadine. it was such perfect timing. at that time, jonah was waking up so we decided to pull over and stop at new haven first. we visited for awhile and then we went to go eat at this buffalo wings place near the campus. omg!!! i never ate such hot chicken wings before (mary, you would love it) but it was damn good. we also had some fries and they were some best fries that i ever had.



after we ate, we walked around campus a little. i really loved the yale campus and the surrounding area. there were some parts that were under construction but you could just picture back in the day when there were horse drawn carriages galloping around. it really is a beautiful campus.
